Before & After Surgery

Before Surgery
To help you prepare for this life-changing event, the Tennessee Weight Loss & Surgery Center's multidisciplinary team will guide you through an in-depth evaluation process. This includes medical testing, nutritional education and counseling as well as a one-on-one session with a trained dietitian to explain the impending changes in your dietary requirements after weight loss surgery. A dedicated bariatric staff will provide guidance and serve as a continuous resource throughout your experience.

 

After Surgery
Comprehensive support after your weight loss surgery includes post-surgical nutritional management as well as support group meetings to discuss lifestyle adjustments and to receive suggestions for continued weight loss success. Exercise specialists also are available to help you achieve fitness with structured and effective exercise routines.
